What age do you usually have a heart transplant?

There is no specific "usual" age for a heart transplant. People of all ages can be candidates for a heart transplant, depending on their individual medical condition and the availability of a suitable donor heart.

Heart transplants are performed most commonly in adults between the ages of 20 and 65. However, children can also receive heart transplants, and some people over the age of 65 have also successfully received heart transplants.

Ultimately, the decision of whether a person is a suitable candidate for a heart transplant is made by a team of medical professionals who will consider factors such as the person's overall health, their heart function, the severity of their heart failure, and the availability of a suitable donor heart.
